Dave's Carry-Out - Soul food restaurant in Charleston - 42 Morris St C, USA

To go for some fabulous fried shrimp. Two doors down from our vacation rental. Walked down and picked up our supper 😋. If you buy local you will be a happy man ❤️

Chicken wings are fresh, huge, crispy and made to order! Fries are good! We'll be back!

I never knew about Dave's until I moved downtown a month ago the first time I bought a fried chicken wing with french fries and fried fish sandwich the chicken was not only uncooked it had clusters off batter on it the chicken was bleeding and it tastes strange it didn't even taste like chicken the second time I went there was a month later when a friend bought me the same dinner fried chicken and french fries I asked the lady to cook the chicken much longer the chicken was cooked correctly but it still had clumps of chicken batter on it also the chicken was so hairy it was disgusting how could someone Miss so much here on food that goes to show you how much they care about their customers just look at the pictures then you'll know what I'm saying I did figure it out what that weird taste was which was they cooked the chicken in the fish Grease a few days later I was on the bus and some of the passengers was telling me that they stopped eating Dave's since the '80s for the same reason that they cook the chicken in the same grease as the seafood

A great neighborhood takeout eatery. When we were staying at the hostel we ordered here almost everyday since we are looking for affordable local places. Good pricing for fresh fried seafood in an expensive area of town. Friendly staff

Came here all the time when we lived in Charleston and still come back even though we moved to another state. We always get the shrimp and fries and pork chop sandwich and fries. The food is fresh, good and at a very reasonable price. I met the owner 13 years ago, and he still remembers me when I call in my order when I'm on my way to pick it up. There are not many places like this left in Charleston anymore.

Wanted to hit this place up before leaving Charleston and so glad I did. It's truly nothing fancy about this place, but what matters most is that the food is fire. And fire it was! I ordered the Seafood Platter ($19.50), which came with fried shrimp & fish, scallops, and devil crab). It was all served up with fries and it was such a satisfying meal. The fish was perfectly fried and the shrimp was big! Never had devil crab before, but I liked it. It was crab cake-ish in terms of texture and taste, but wholly unique as well. This was a black-owned restaurant that I was excited to support and I can see why it's remained a popular spot in the city for good seafood.

A little hole in the wall recommended by the locals. Hand breaded, fresh delicious seafood. Large portions and very reasonable prices! We got take out lunch and brought back to the hotel. They have no parking and street parking is limited, limited dining space too, though they have it. They were packed when we got in! Fried scallops were big and plentiful and cooked to perfection, same with the fried shrimp. The wife ordered Hoppin' John as her side and it was amazing!

Found this place by accident. Good, down home fish fry joint., very simple but good food. Staff was nice and super personable, they seemed to know everyone by name. Will return when back in town.
